4.1alpha5 checklist

I am planning to upload this in a couple of days. There will still be more things to fix, but I have made up a shortlist of things to do before the upload:

1. Look at Dougal's latest Network Wizard.
2. Examine some issues with Pmount not refreshing.
3. A bit more thought on copy-to-ram of pup_xxx.sfs.
4. xse or xautomation to raise/lower Pmount when click icons?
5. Check PETget package downloading.
6. Recompile scsi3 kernel -- had some drivers already in scsi1 and scsi2.

What do you actually want to do with Pmount?

I'm not sure exactly what you are wanting to do with xse or xautomation. On bootup I run mut with alltray so that I have instant access to mount and unmount drives, and I have jwm set to ignore it in the task list and make it sticky. It sounds like you are wanting to do a similar thing, but without Alltray. This is good, as there are some problems with alltray (e.g. it messes up when you restart jwm, I can't get it to work with a lot of GTK2 programs, and it doesn't work with negative geometry arguments (to specify a distance from the right side or bottom of screen). Is this right - that you really just want to emulate alltray? I could be wrong (the documentation is shabby), but I don't think either xse or xautomation can do this. I don't know if you saw it, but MU posted another possible solution in the xse thread - if I understand him correctly he has now made a shell script to replace an older puppybasic script. I haven't had a look at it yet, but you might like to if you haven't already: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=217712&sid=3db4856991bf9720091dacde4bed893e

PETget test

"Well, I just tested PETget, it works fine. Simplicity itself, I just chose Bluefish, it downloaded and installed. Regarding, using Xse or Xautomation with Pmount, I'm not really sure what I wanted to do. Will put that on hold.
